Landscape Paintings.

Landscape paintings are the quickest to paint. They are also the most difficult paintings to paint. All artists are just mere imitators of the great creator. We can only modify and stylize what has already been created. In landscape paintings different techniques are used to represent the – solid ‘permanence’ of mountains and rock, the immutable fleeting nature of clouds, the variety of shapes, sizes, colours and characters of trees (this one is the most difficult) or the fragility of a blade of grass. This is an endless task.

Land and Sky

Somehow the landscape artist is expected to fuse the leaden majesty of the land, with the vast emptiness of the sky. Light is crucial. It should unify these two opposing elements.

Light plays a critical part in all my landscapes.

My landscape art work is varied in subject matter and painting style. Most are executed in oils but some are done in pastels. They are mosty realist. I am hoping to soon begin producing digital art landscape work. I hope to produce landscape art prints from these.

Landscape art painting.

Landscape art painting is in many ways the most difficult type of painting to undertake. Therefore it takes a special and unique use of paint to successfully represent a landscape. Many people can draw, but not a lot can paint a fine art landscape painting which works (possibly some abstract landscape art can be excepted from this). The range of techniques required to suggest a tree; to paint grass; to represent water; to paint the airy lightness of sky and clouds is so varied – and it takes some time to master the skills needed.

Fine Art Landscape Paintings.

Fine art landscape paintings need something to help them stand out from the crowd. Consequently, different cultures around the world have represented the landscape in unique ways. Compare the light used by Streeton or Roberts in representing the Australian landscape to the light which dominates the works of European artists or the Japanese or Chinese ways of depicting the landscape. Furthermore, one new popular style of landscape art is the western art landscape (mostly of America) where the light is often dramatic, especially in mountain scenes.

Finally, landscape art seeks to also explore the spiritual in the creation around us. A successful landscape art work will not only depict the scene faithfully, but exhibit the mood each landscape evoke. So a picture of ice should look cold. Also a sunset should express the peace and beauty of a day’s end.
